All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances…
—— Shakespeare, ‘As You Like It’
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
— Shakespeare, ‘Macbeth’
Mary Saves the Day
